Screenshot format?

Is there a way to auto change the screenshot format from BMP to JPEG ingame?
  • pavelcherepanskyrwb17_ESO
    BMP screenshots are generally just easier to implement - BMP is just set of pixels with color values taken directly from the I/O buffer and jpeg requires compression to be implemented into the game engine.

    At least I haven't seen an option for JPEG yet. If you want jpegs use FRAPS or some other 3rd party screenshot captor.

    C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\UserSettings.txt

    Change
    SET ScreenshotFormat "BMP"
    To
    SET ScreenshotFormat "JPG"

    or was it "JPEG"? Can't remember, but one of the two works ...

    Go into "Drive": \Users\"username"\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live and open "UserSettings.txt" in notepad.

    Find the line [around 11 lines from the top]:
    SET ScreenshotFormat "BMP"
    and change it to
    SET ScreenshotFormat "JPG"

    Save.
